RACE ≠ YOUR SOCIAL CLASS
RACISM ≠ CLASSISM

a thread :)
okay some of u mfers seem to think that just becuz u might be a poor white person that u are an oppressed white person. and okay HOWEVER ur money has nothing to do with your race having problems with money and living is a HUMAN issue not a white or black issue
ofc their are things white people struggle with and when i bring up white privilege it isnt to dismiss struggles it is to say that their are things you will never experience (racism) and therefore your life will go easier in some aspects.
yes there are times where being white/black and being poor/rich overlap however this is a reminder that they are not the same. also yes rich privilege ofc happens and exist yet it has nothing to do with being white.
also is someone assumes that someone is rich cuz they are white it isnt racism its a prejudice :)
